Deleuze and Guattari''s Philosophy of History constructs, problematizes and defends a Deleuzian philosophy of history. Drawing on Deleuze''s philosophy of time, it identifies key ideas and suggestions related to the philosophy of history from Deleuze and Guattari''s major writings - including the seminal contemporary texts Anti-Oedipus, A Thousand Plateaux, Difference and Repetiton and The Logic of Sense.
The book covers the following themes: the role of dates in historical chronology; historical causality; historical origins; the character of historical events; and the diagnosis of such actual historical events as the rise of capitalism in Europe. This text is a groundbreaking, valuable and original contribution to the scholarship on Deleuze and Guattari, and contemporary Continental philosophy as a whole.
